ULS Computer Controlled Compressed Air Unit
The ULS Computer Controlled Compressed Air Unit provides a 50 PSI max pressure and 2.0 cfm free air flow (3.2
bar and 3.2 cubic meters/hour) source of clean, dry, oil free compressed air for air assisted laser material
processing. It can be used in conjunction with either the Air Assist Cone or Air Assist Back Sweep accessory. It
also supplied compressed air for optics protection. It contains a sound insulated air compressor,
CAUTION: Air Assist can decrease frequency of cleaning for the optics, but will not decrease the need for
maintenance as a whole.
